I have a 2010 Trek Madone, 3.1 with the original 11-28 cassette. how often does this item needs to be replaced?

Depends entirely on how much you ride, and how you ride. Other factors include riding conditions and how often you replace your chain. Only an experienced mechanic can help you determine when your cassette needs to be replaced.

Should be a pretty standard bike chain. I would suggest removing and taking it to a local bike shop for replacement.You can probably just lubricate the chain and continue using it.

If I were you I'd call Schwinn and ask them. I guess you didn't see my review where I gave them a one-star rating because the electronics in my bike just up and quit after about 40 hours of use. I threw my bike away.

I would replace it with exactly what's on it now. The 8 speed might fit but then you would need everything else to be compatible.

Hello Tyler, Amazon asked if I would respond to your inquiry regarding compatibility of the OT-SP40 shift cables. I installed the shift cables on a 2011 shimano ultegra 10 speed drive train with a compact crank set. As I stated in the review the cables,housing and included hardware work well and the shifting is actually a bit crisper than the original equipment. As to why they do not recommend these cables for 10 speed derailleurs is a mystery to me. I do change the cables annually so a cable set that's less than seven dollars in price may lack some longevity but to me that is not a concern. That being said you may want to contact the seller regarding the compatibility of your drive train and the SP40 Cables. Hope this response helped. Ride Safe, Steve

the number gears on your rear cassette is what matters. Just count the number of gears you have on your back wheel.

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

No. You have a freewheel, not a cassette style hub. It will be a 3 or 4 prong or shimano-style freewheel tool. Since the replacement will most likely need a different tool, I'd suggest just paying you're local shop $10 to remove.

I used these to replace the shifters and cables on my Trek 4300 mountain bike. I completely removed the old cables from the bike along with the old shifters. These new shifters come with the shift cables attached. I reused the cable casing that was on my bike, applying lube to the inside of the casing before threading the new cables through. The installation of the cables was easy. The adjustment to the derailleur after the cables are installed is a bit tricky. The best I can offer on that process is to either research online, find YouTube videos, or take the bike to your local bike shop and pay them to make the adjustments.

This is a freewheel, not a cassette, there is a difference. Remember to replace your chain at the same time.

The cassette should work on any Shimano or SRAM hub. As far as I know, all Shimano hubs, mountain or road, use the same 'mounting pattern' for cassettes.

in my experience, you must change the mt cartridge(s). aber dei motoer vill nicht mier.

I have a Trek Madone Road bike. The only thing I had to take off was the handle bar and wheels. Just tied up the chain and deraileur with zip ties. Depending on how tall you bike is you may have to remove the seat or at least lower it. Because I don't trust the Airlines, I added foam padding to each side of the bike frame. Be careful not to over load it with gear. The case plus the bike is close to 5o#.

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

I went to my local bicycle store and they were able to replace it. Expect to pay between 20-40$ but it can easily be replaced.

28 isn't much more than 26... it only needs 2 more links of chain. same derailleur should be fine in my opinion (used to work at a bike shop) but if you shift to the LARGE chain ring in front and the 28 cog in back (a gear you should NOT be using anyway due to extreme chain angle) then you may find your chain is too short and the deraileur arm on bottom will be pulled really far forward. When you change cogs, if your old chain is really worn (1000's of miles riding), it's a good idea to get a new chain too, and a new chain would be sufficiently long. you'll need a chain tool to cut it to length though (again make it just a little longer than your old chain).

See page 15 of the User's Guide: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/schwinn/SCH_Active10-20_OM.pdf I haven't had to change mine yet so I can't be more specific.
